Not all water will contain contaminants listed.

Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual per-

formance may vary. Filter usage must comply with all state and local laws.

Filter is only to be used with cold water. Systems certiﬁed for cyst reduc-

tion may be used on disinfected waters that may contain ﬁlterable cysts.

See owner’s manual for general installation conditions and needs as well

as manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown

water quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Testing Performed under NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 and in accordance with the California Department of Health Services Drinking Water Treat-

ment Device Program. This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the

indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system,

as speciﬁed in NSF/ANSI 42 & 53.
